Shut up. These are the two words that come to mind I when read things about celebrities and their political views. Normally we hear about saving the whales, or the environment, saving anything really. But today I stumbled across this:
Shakira and Arizona – Immigration Law Fight from Pop Star
Pop star Shakira says she will continue to fight against a controversial Arizona immigration law. The law signed in the state last week by Gov. Jan Brewer makes it a state crime to be in the US illegally. Shakira, who was born in Colombia, told radio host Ryan Seacrest how she would not sit by and accept the law.
“As a Latina I am very concerned about how this law will impact working Hispanic families,” she said. “Being detained in the street just because of the color of your skin is just wrong. It is a violation of your human and civil rights.”
Shakira told Seacrest how she was traveling to Arizona to meet the Mayor of Phoenix and city police chiefs. “I am going to meet the chief of police to see how they are planning on implementing a law like this, despite it being a violation to civil rights.”
Oh that’s right- all of Colombia’s problems are solved! Colombia is a shining beacon of democracy and freedom with a high life expectancy and no major terror groups. Why don’t you worry about getting Colombia up to 1st world standards then you can start to complain about the U.S.

Hey Charo-lite, STFU and read the bill, if you can read english. That is not what it says.
Let’s send one of our celebrities to Columbia to tell them how to enforce their drug laws. Or to Iran to tell them not to arrest women for having suntans. Or to North Korea to lecture them on human rights. Any suggestions?
Colombia - sorry.
Lebanese father and Spanish (from Spain) mother. A total hottie but a total ditz as well.
I thought we had rules on FR!
The post is useless without pics!
Spain? I’ve seen these people. They look like my Italian side. They even pretty much speak the same language. Why they’re.......WHITE!
Well, thank God Shakira has broken her 9-day silence. At last I know how to view this Arizona law. Thank you, Shakira.
Well, she met with Phil Gordon, mayor of Phoenix, who is not much of a mayor OR much of an Arizonan. The guy makes a doofus look good. He threatened a lawsuit against S1070 before checking with the city council would back him. They wouldn’t. The guy makes a doofus look good.
Shaking her boobs and butt at the police will only get her in trouble.
I wonder if these idiots ever come to realize how incredibly stupid they sound? I agree, Shakira needs to go back and take care of her OWN country’s problems, before she overreaches here.
The "Latino"/Hispanic category is absolutely ridiculous. Most people who we think of when we use the term could be classified racially as "mestizos."
“Well, thank God Shakira has broken her 9-day silence. At last I know how to view this Arizona law. Thank you, Shakira.”
It took her handlers that long to tell her what her opinion on the subject was, then teach her how to say it.
You do realize the Ann Coulter rule applies in this case. PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES.
She says she is concermed for Latino working families.
What about the non working families who have had their jobs taken by cheap illegal workers?
Don't worry Shakira, they'll just download your music for free.
Koo che Koo che KOO!
Hey, same thing, different generation.
Ya know..
Every single one of these morons opposing this needs to...
Correction:
MUST be held accountable for the actions of every illegal in America. They are EMPOPWERING them all!
EVERY celebrity.
EVERY politician.
EVERY activist.
EVERY mayor of EVERY sanctuary city.
The Arizona rancher who was killed by illegals? SHAKIRA is responsible for his murder!
How does THAT grab you?
All of the sex crimes.
All of the American children hurt and killed by illegals.
THESE people are to blame!
When in fact all of us possibly can be detained on the streets, if we are speeding, run a stop sign, have a broken tail light, etc.. Then we are asked for our drivers license and our insurance coverage, and possibly proof of ownership of the vehicle.
No difference except of course if one ca... As OBAMA said regarding the investment regulations ... ‘if you are honest you will not mind, if you intend to be a crook you do not want.’ (rough paraphrase).
Once again they are exaggerating the point with hyperbole,
Good grief. Do not be a dolt about all this hype!
The more we buy into it the more they win. God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
